Coinmine One Cryptocurrency Miner

Up to this point, mining cryptocurrencies has required a lot of technical know-how. The Coinmine One Cryptocurrency Miner aims to make it as easy as possible. Developed with the backing of Coinbase, this plug-and-play machine runs Mine OS, a new mission-specific operating system. Over-the-air updates let it adapt to changing protocols and adopt new ones, and unlike most standalone units, it uses only 120W — about as much as a PS3 — and produces only 40 decibels of noise. You can monitor your earnings from an app, mine Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Monero, and Z-Cash right out of the box, and will be in great position to mine the currencies of the future with minimal effort.

Samsung Infinity Flex Display

They've been teasing it for years, and while they might not be the first to market, the Samsung Infinity Flex Display will likely mark the mainstream debut of foldable devices. Revealed at their annual developer conference, the tech combines a 4.58" cover display with a 7.3" internal display that folds up when not in use. That interior screen will be able to display three apps at once, in part thanks to the baked-in foldable support coming to Android. Mass-production of the display is said to begin in the next few months, although it remains to be seen when we might see a device built around it.

Mopar Hellephant 426 Supercharged Crate HEMI Engine

The 426 HEMI, introduced in 1964, was nicknamed the "Elephant" for its size and power. The new Mopar Hellephant is a worthy offspring, and the first OEM crate engine to produce 1,000hp. It achieves this with a large displacement and an improved supercharger with a high-efficiency rotor. An all-aluminum block keeps weight down, and the package also includes a water pump, flywheel, front sump oil pan, fuel injectors, and coil packs. When paired with the Hellephant-specific Engine Kit, it offers plug-and-play ease for veteran mechanics and is designed for installation on pre-1976 street and off-road vehicles. A showcase vehicle for the new engine, the 1968 Dodge "Super Charger" Concept, is on display at the 2018 SEMA show in Las Vegas.

Apple Mac Mini

It'd been nearly 1,500 days since Apple's tiny desktop had been updated, so to say that the 2018 Apple Mac mini was overdue would be an understatement. Fortunately, it was worth the wait. Inside is an 8th-gen Intel Core processor with up to six cores, paired with a UHD Graphics 630 GPU. Packing that much power into such a small enclosure required a new thermal architecture, with solid-state storage — up to 2TB worth — and exposed vents. It can be configured with up to 64GB of RAM, and has multiple Thunderbolt 3 ports and an HDMI 2.0 output for hooking up to standard TVs, and comes in a handsome space gray enclosure made from 100% recycled aluminum.

Lexar JumpDrive Fingerprint F35 Flash Drive

Flash drives are great for conveniently carrying around data, and generally poor at security. The Lexar JumpDrive F35 fixes the problem with a built-in fingerprint scanner. It recognizes up to 10 different prints in as little as one second, requires no added software or drivers, and protects the contents with 256-bit AES encryption. Available in 64, 128, and 256GB capacities.

Traveler Portable Writing Tool

It can be hard to pay attention to your writing when your other apps are constantly trying to grab your attention. With no other apps to worry about, the Traveler offers a distraction-free writing experience. It's about half the size of a typical laptop with a battery life measured in weeks instead of hours and has an E Ink screen that lessens the strain on your eyes. Documents are synced over Wi-Fi to Dropbox, Evernote, or Google Drive, and the full-size, scissor switch keyboard offers just the right amount of key travel and resistance.

Nimble 10-Day Portable Charger

Unfortunately, our lives revolve around our devices and having one of them out of commission isn't an option. Luckily, that won't have to be a concern with the Nimble 10-Day Portable Charger. It features 4 output ports, including an 18W fast charging USB-C and a dedicated QC 3.0 port, allowing you to power up your phone and your tablet in record time. The battery can produce up to 10 full charges and is compatible with iPhone, Samsung, and even Nintendo Switch. A slim profile makes for easy packing while a detachable cable holder keeps all the cords under control. The charger is made from sustainable materials and arrives in recycled, plastic-free packaging.

Google Home Hub

Amazon's Echo Show proved voice assistants could be more useful with a screen. The Google Home Hub concurs. Powered by Assistant, this smallish countertop appliance has a 7-inch display with a speaker as its base. It performs the usual tasks, like setting timers and answering general questions, can stream media from YouTube, Spotify, and Pandora, amongst others, and is a perfect digital frame for Google Photos. It also gives you an overview of any compatible smart devices you have in your home. Perhaps most impressive? It lacks a camera, so there's no worry of it spying on you, and a Mute button in the back completely shuts off the mics, further ensuring your privacy.

Facebook Portal

Given Facebook's poor track record when it comes to privacy, they're about the last people you'd want having a camera and microphone in your home. That said, if you find yourself wanting to have a Facebook Messenger-based video phone in your house, the Portal and Portal+ are here. They have AI-powered smarts that automatically pan and zoom to keep you on the screen while adapting the audio so you come through loud and clear. They've also got Alexa built-in, so they can do way more than just call your friends. The Portal has a 10-inch screen while the Portal+ has a 15-inch, 1080p screen that pivots for vertical calls, and each of them comes with a camera cover for some semblance of privacy.

Tap Wearable Keyboard & Mouse

Giving "touch typing" a whole new meaning, the Tap Wearable Keyboard & Mouse is a novel new input device. It consists of a series of rings worn over the thumb and fingers that register your hand movements, letting you type and control a cursor on nearly any surface, including your opposite arm. It connects via Bluetooth and is compatible with nearly every major operating system, and while you can use it for a variety of applications, its form factor and design make it extremely well-suited to VR.

Blitzen Rooftop Beverage Chiller

Born from necessity one night when the air was cold but the prosecco was not, the Blitzen Rooftop Beverage Chiller is a cleverly simple way to cool off your drinks. It attaches to nearly any metal car roof with a pair of extra-strong magnets, has a curved aluminum body, and a strap to hold anything from a bottle of wine to a growler of beer firmly in place. The amount of time it takes to chill your drink depends on multiple factors, including the speed you travel and the temperature outside, but as long as you're not just driving around the block, your drink should be cool by the time you reach your destination.

Amazon Echo Auto

More and more new cars have Alexa built-in. Now you can add Amazon's increasingly ubiquitous assistant to your vintage ride with the Echo Auto. It uses your phone to get online, either a Bluetooth or 3.5mm aux connection to play through your car's stereo, and eight microphones to pick up your voice even with road and wind noise in the background. Once installed on your dash, you can play music, get directions, check your calendar, and perform most of the same tasks you can at home using nothing more than your voice.

Tesla Portable Wireless Charger

Yes, Tesla makes cars — but those cars are only possible thanks to their battery technology, which is used in everything from grid-connected power banks to products like this Portable Wireless Charger. Spied only briefly on the brand's official shop before disappearing into the ether, it has a 6000mAh cell, with a built-in inductive, Qi-compatible charging pad, as well as integrated USB C and A cables for charging corded devices. No word on when, or if, it will return.

Dronamics Black Swan Unmanned Aircraft

Sending cargo via air is prohibitively expensive. Which is why nearly all domestic cargo travels some other way. Bulgaria-based Dronamics is out to change that with their Black Swan Unmanned Aircraft. This purpose-built drone is a fixed-wing aircraft with a single propeller and gas-powered Rotax engine, capable of carrying over 700 pounds of cargo over 1,500 miles. It can be monitored via satellite, takeoff and land at small unpaved airstrips, and is estimated to cut operational costs by half or more. A scale prototype has been testing for some time, and the company hopes to start customer trials with a full-size example by the end of 2019.

Zozo Custom-Fit Apparel

Developed by the largest e-commerce brand in Japan, Zozo creates apparel that fits perfectly. The company uses a proprietary body-measurement suit that captures your precise measurements which are then sent to the Zozo app. A 3D rendering of your body's unique shape is ready in minutes before you customize the fit of each item according to your style preferences. Choose from jeans, Oxford shirts, and t-shirts that are shipped directly to your door without a trip to a professional tailor.

Google Titan Security Key

Two-factor authentication is a must for anyone concerned with keeping their accounts safe. SMS-based systems can easily be hacked. Physical objects, not so much — which is why Google is offering the Titan Security Key. Arriving as a pair of USB and Bluetooth-based keys, these serve as physical tokens that must be present in order for you to log in. Google's own employees have been using them since early 2017, and in the time since, not a single one of the 85,000-plus workers have been phished. Easily attached to a keyring, they're built on FIDO open standards, so they work with a variety of apps and services.

Logitech MX Vertical Mouse

Utilizing a natural handshake position, the Logitech MX Vertical Mouse is the company's most ergonomic yet. Its 57-degree vertical angle reduces forearm strain and wrist pressure, with a textured rubber surface for a comfortable grip. The 4,000 DPI sensor cuts hand movement up to 4x, and a cursor speed switch lets you adjust on-the-fly for more precise movements. It connects over Bluetooth or USB-C and has a battery that lasts for months between charges.

Dakboard v2 Wall Display

Nearly all of us use digital tools to manage our busy lives. It only makes sense to replace our traditional wall-hanging calendars with something more connected. That's exactly what the Dakboard v2 Wall Display does. It connects seamlessly to most major online calendar services like iCloud and Google and presents the incoming information in the view that's best for you. Its 24-inch, 1080p IPS display is eminently readable, can pull in background photos from your favorite service, and also provides at-a-glance weather and news info, should you want it.

Death & Co. Investment

Widely acclaimed as one of the world's best bars, NYC-based Death & Co. is expanding. To help fund it, they're letting the rest of us invest. Called a preferred equity note, it provides a small stake in the parent company Gin & Luck, which includes the Death & Co bars in the East Village and Denver, planned locations in LA, Chicago, Atlanta, and Nashville, a consulting business, and book sales. While it's not quite like a share of stock — you can't trade it easily, and you won't necessarily get regular disclosures from the owners — it does give you a piece of the rewards should the company someday sell or go public.
